garakutaichi[.]com

The domain garakutaichi.com is identified as a generic phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate the legitimate Made-in-China.com login portal. Analysis confirms the domain is currently offline, though it previously hosted a fraudulent sign-in page mimicking the authentic platform's interface. The threat type is classified as credential harvesting, targeting users of the Made-in-China.com business-to-business marketplace. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 02, 2021, through GMO Internet, Inc. and resolved to the IP address 133.242.187.238. Security telemetry indicates the domain appears on one active blocklist, while VirusTotal reports 11 of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. AlienVault OTX records show the domain in two distinct threat intelligence pulses, suggesting broader recognition within the security community. The SSL certificate is associated with ns.garakuta-ichi.net, a subdomain that may share infrastructure with the phishing operation. The page title, 'Sign In | Made-in-China.com,' directly matches the legitimate service, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Current status confirms garakutaichi.com has been taken offline, though the underlying infrastructure may remain dormant or repurposed. Organizations and users are advised to block the domain and associated IP address 133.242.187.238 at the network perimeter. Security teams should review logs for connections to the domain or IP, particularly from systems that interact with Made-in-China.com. If credentials were entered on this site, immediate password resets are required for all affected accounts. Monitoring for similar impersonation domains using variations of 'garakuta-ichi' or 'Made-in-China' is recommended to preempt future threats.
